The Weapon Making event was held in a designated arena near the Academy's practical workshops.
The venue was electrified with anticipation, marked by four identical work counters set up for the participants.
Each counter was fully equipped with the necessary facilities: a solid anvil, a selection of hammers, a roaring furnace fed by controlled bellows, water troughs, and various raw metal ingots.
A huge crowd had gathered, easily eclipsing the turnout for the shooting match.
This was one of the most anticipated events of the second day, largely because of the S Class representative, Rendo.
Rendo was a hulking figure from the Dwarf Race, his massive arms already inspiring confidence, and he was the most probable winner, having been trained in dwarven smithing from birth.
Adding to the gravity of the event, the main judge and special guest was Grand Elder Ignis.
